Product details
Overview
LT1510CGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-voltage/constant-current switching battery charger IC designed for lithium-ion, NiCd, and NiMH batteries. It integrates a 1.5A DC / 2A peak internal NPN switch, 0.1Ω onboard current-sense resistor, and precision 0.5% voltage reference. It operates from 8V to 28V input, charges batteries from 2V to 20V, and delivers >87% efficiency at 1.3A in Li-ion applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT1510CGN#TRPBF datasheet, LT1510CGN#TRPBF pinout, LT1510CGN#TRPBF application, or LT1510CGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200kHz switching frequency, thermal resistance of 80°C/W in GN package, ±1% OVP accuracy over temperature, soft-start via VC pin capacitor, and shutdown control via VC pin pull-down - all critical for compact, thermally constrained portable battery charging designs.
Technical Context
The LT1510CGN#TRPBF implements current-mode PWM control in a step-down (buck) topology with internal NPN switch and bootstrap-driven BOOST pin. Its dual-loop architecture uses CA1 amplifier to convert sensed current (via 0.1Ω internal sense path between SENSE and BAT) into IPROG current (500µA/A), then compares it against PROG-set reference to regulate charging current.
Voltage regulation is handled by the VA amplifier monitoring OVP pin against the 2.465V reference; when battery voltage reaches the programmed float level (e.g., 4.2V for Li-ion), VA reduces charging current to maintain constant voltage. The IC enters 3µA sleep mode when VCC drops below ~0.7V above VBAT, eliminating reverse battery drain.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz - enables use of small surface-mount inductors (e.g., 10 µH ceramic) and reduces EMI filtering burden. |
| Max Charging Current | 1.5 A DC (2 A peak) - supports fast-charge profiles for single-cell to 5-cell Li-ion or multi-cell NiMH/NiCd packs. |
| Voltage Reference Accuracy | ±0.5% at 25°C, ±1% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures ±42 mV absolute accuracy on 4.2 V Li-ion float voltage. |
| Current Sense Resistance | 0.1 Ω total (SENSE-to-BAT path) - allows simple, accurate current programming with one external resistor (e.g., 4.93 kΩ for 1 A). |
| Thermal Resistance θJA | 80 °C/W - requires careful PCB copper area design under fused corner pins (GN package) to sustain full current at 60°C ambient. |
| Sleep Mode Current | 3 µA typical - prevents measurable battery discharge when wall adapter is unplugged, critical for always-connected devices. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | 7 V (typical) - disables switching until input stabilizes, preventing erratic operation during adapter brownouts. |
Pinout & Package
LT1510CGN#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SSOP (GN) package with four fused corner pins connected to the internal die attach paddle for enhanced thermal conduction. PCB land pattern must expand these pins to maximize heat sinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 4, 8, 16) | Ground reference and thermal pad connection | Fused corner pins must be soldered to large copper pour for θJA = 80°C/W performance; shared return for power, sense, and control paths. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch output node | Drives external Schottky catch diode; layout must minimize loop area with GND to reduce EMI and switching losses. |
| BOOST (Pin 3) | Bootstrap drive for internal NPN switch | Must be routed with low-inductance path to SW; VBOOST = VCC + VBAT during switch ON; max rating 55 V. |
| SENSE (Pin 5) | High-side current sense input | Connects to one end of internal 0.1 Ω sense resistor; enables ground-referenced battery configuration without current-sense amplifier. |
| VCC (Pins 6, 11, 12) | IC supply input | Requires ≥10 µF low-ESR capacitor near pins; UVLO activates below 7 V; parasitic diode exists from SW to VCC. |
| PROG (Pin 7) | Charging current programming node | Accepts resistor-to-GND or DAC sink current; 2.465 V reference sets IPROG = 2000 × IBAT; shorting to GND halts charging. |
| VC (Pin 9) | Inner-loop PWM control voltage | Soft-start ramp (0.1 µF to GND); shutdown triggered by pulling ≤0.6 V; controls duty cycle and charging current magnitude. |
| BAT (Pin 10) | Current sense return and battery positive | Connects to other end of internal sense resistor; allows direct tie to battery anode; no ground sensing required. |
| OVP (Pin 13) | Voltage regulation feedback input | Compares battery voltage (via R3/R4 divider) against 2.465 V reference; used for CV mode and overvoltage protection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1.5A switch + 0.1Ω sense | Eliminates need for external MOSFET, gate driver, and discrete sense resistor - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| 0.5% voltage reference | Meets stringent Li-ion float voltage tolerance (±42 mV @ 4.2 V), enabling safe long-term battery maintenance without external trimming. |
| Current sensing at either battery terminal | Supports both high-side (BAT to load) and low-side (battery negative grounded) configurations - simplifies system grounding and isolation. |
| 3 µA sleep current | Prevents measurable self-discharge during adapter removal - essential for consumer electronics with always-connected battery packs. |
| Programmable soft-start via VC pin | 0.1 µF capacitor yields ~3 ms current ramp - avoids inrush stress on input capacitors, battery, and PCB traces during power-up. |

FAQ
What is the maximum battery voltage supported by the LT1510CGN#TRPBF?
The LT1510CGN#TRPBF supports battery voltages from 2V to 20V. This range accommodates single-cell to five-cell lithium-ion packs (up to 21V fully charged), as well as multi-cell NiCd/NiMH configurations. Operation remains stable as long as VBAT stays within this window and VCC exceeds VBAT by ≥2V (for VBAT < 10V) or ≥2.5V (for VBAT > 10V), per the datasheet's supply requirements.
Can the LT1510CGN#TRPBF be used to charge lithium-ion batteries without external termination circuitry?
Yes - the LT1510CGN#TRPBF implements autonomous constant-current/constant-voltage charging for lithium-ion batteries. When configured with appropriate resistor dividers on the OVP pin (e.g., R3/R4), it automatically transitions from CC to CV mode at the programmed float voltage (e.g., 4.2V) and tapers current to zero. No external timer or dV/dt detection is needed for basic Li-ion charging, as confirmed in Figure 2 and Applications Information.
What is the purpose of the BOOST pin on the LT1510CGN#TRPBF, and how should it be routed?
The BOOST pin on the LT1510CGN#TRPBF drives the base of the internal NPN switch transistor to saturation, minimizing on-resistance and conduction loss. It must be connected with a low-inductance, short trace directly to the SW pin. During switch ON, VBOOST ≈ VCC + VBAT, so its voltage rating (55V max) must accommodate that sum. Improper routing causes switching inefficiency, thermal stress, or oscillation.
How does the LT1510CGN#TRPBF achieve 3µA sleep current, and when is it active?
The LT1510CGN#TRPBF achieves 3µA sleep current by disabling internal bias circuits and placing the switch in high-impedance state when VCC falls below ~0.7V above VBAT - typically occurring when the wall adapter is unplugged. In this state, only leakage paths remain active. This behavior is intrinsic to the IC's architecture and requires no external enable/disable signal, making it ideal for battery-backed systems where standby drain must be minimized.
Is the LT1510CGN#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LT1510-5CGN#TRPBF?
No - the LT1510CGN#TRPBF (200kHz version) and LT1510-5CGN#TRPBF (500kHz version) share identical pinout and package (GN), but differ in oscillator frequency, maximum duty cycle (87% vs. 81%), and thermal derating curves. While PCB layout is compatible, the higher-frequency LT1510-5CGN#TRPBF enables smaller magnetics and reduced output ripple, whereas the LT1510CGN#TRPBF offers higher peak duty cycle for wider input–output differentials.
